How to share internet on a Maze Speed

There are situations in which we do not have a Wi-Fi connection, either because we are away from home, outside of work, experiencing a network problem, or staying in a second residence. In such cases, we may need to connect from a computer/laptop, tablet, or television to watch our favorite series or movies using the internet connection of our Maze Speed.

Fortunately, if you have a SIM card with mobile data on your Maze Speed you can create a Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering via Bluetooth or USB and surf the internet from another device by following the steps below:

If, on the other hand, what you need is to see or share the password of a Wi-Fi network to which you are connected with your Maze Speed to connect another device without having to type the password or look for it on the router, see the share Wi-Fi key tutorial.

8- Eighth step:

The name of the Wi-Fi network created using the data connection of the Maze Speed will appear under the "Hotspot name" section, this is the Wi-Fi network that you must search for and use on the other device from which you want to connect. If you want to change the name of the network you can do it by clicking and editing the name.

Select the type of connection security from the options available on your Maze, "WPA3-Personal" is the most recent security protocol but you must adjust it depending on whether the device you want to connect via Wi-Fi accepts such a recent protocol or an older one.

You can choose between the 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz band, it is possible that your device shows other options, this will depend on the software version or the region of your Maze Speed.

The 5 Ghz band is usually less saturated and offers a better connection for short distances and the 2.4 Ghz band, despite being more saturated, since other Wi-Fi networks are usually configured in this band, it is better to connect long distance.
